Men's cut

Now more than ever, we must approach life decisively with calm collection and powerful precision. For any situation you find yourself presiding over, we present July’s Designer’s Special: the Shogun. Inspired by modular samurai armor of the 15th and 16th centuries, the Shogun can be worn in four unique looks, allowing you to master all that life throws at you.

Look 1: Modern Moto This streamlined, double breasted motorcycle jacket is made with a high collar and a combination of breathable cotton and heavy duty nylon fabric. Clip your keys to the rings around the bottom hem and slip your phone into your pocket—you’re ready to ride!

Look 2: Urban Armor Add the pauldrons with four easy snaps to create bulk and extra protection when you’re out and about. Instantly enhancing the silhouette, these shoulder panels create a layered armor look without sacrificing any mobility.

Look 3: Tactical Carry With four easy snaps, attach two deep cargo pockets for extra storage. Inspired by the kusazuri hanging tassets of historical samurai armor, these removable pockets will let you keep all your futuristic gadgets close at hand.

Look 4: The General Attach all four tassets, the shoulder pauldrons, and zip the Shogun all the way up for the full effect. Snap the kote-style gauntlets to the cinched position and get ready for battle. Add the Jingasa to complete the look. No one will be able to stand in your way.

About the Designer’s Special

We have been designing for years now and there are always pieces that never get to see the light of day. In our first years it was because we didn’t have the capacity to make more than the single sample and now because some of our favorites were just too unique for a full fledged production run. Now David and Willow, along with the whole design team, are happy to finally offer you the Designer’s Special, a super limited edition spotlight event, highlighting one piece we’ve longed to make and never been able to present.
